Hi All, I'd like to anounce guile-snmp to the world at large. This is a wrapper for the net-snmp library, allowing for threadsafe snmp get/set/walk using the net-snmp single session API. It also comes with a nice shell tool, that wraps up basic setup functions and has a handy feature that automatically unknown identifiers into oids looked up in MIBs.
A fairly limited set of routines are wrapped at present (with more to come), but these are sufficient to achieve very useful things in a few lines of code. Documentation is currently limited to a small set of example scripts, but I intend working on some useful documentation soon. I've been using this stuff in various forms for a couple of years now and find writing complicated reports much quicker that with perl Net::SNMP (as much as I loved ti). I also find the resulting scripts much easier to read months down the line. The project currently live on github. A buildable archive of the current release can be downloaded from: https://github.com/tcolgate/guile-snmp/downloads The code is tested on various flavours of guile 2.0, and requires net-snmp and it's headers to be installed to build. After working on the docs I intend attaching agent support to allow extending any guile enabled app with an snmp agent. -- Tristan Colgate-McFarlane ---- "You can get all your daily vitamins from 52 pints of guiness, and a glass of milk"
